Now what are the joys of single young man?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing,
And what is he doing whenever he can?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing,
You may think I’m wrong, or you may think I’m right,
I’m not going to argue, I know you can fight,
But what do you think we are doing tonight?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
CHORUS:
Boozing, boozing, just you and I,
Boozing, boozing, ’till we run dry;
Some do it openly, some on the sly,
But they all are bloody well boozing.
And what are the joys of a poor married man?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
And what is he doing whenever he can?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
He comes home at night and he gives his wife all,
He goes out a-shopping, makes many a call.
But what brings him home hanging onto the wall?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
(chorus)
And what do the Moral Majority run down?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
And what are they banning in every town?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
They go on TV, they rave and they shout,
They shout about things they know nothing about,
But what are they doing when the lights are turned out?
Why boozing, bloody well boozing.
(chorus)
